Powermatic Belt & Disc Sanders FAQs

What types of sanding can the Powermatic 31A handle?

The Powermatic 31A handles edge sanding, surface sanding, and contour work. The multi-position belt head adjusts from vertical to horizontal for different tasks, and the 12" disc supports flat and angled sanding on both the belt and disc tables.

What is the difference between the 31A and the DS-20?

The 31A combines a 6" × 48" belt and a 12" disc in one machine, making it a strong choice for shops that do both. The DS-20 is a dedicated disc sander with a larger 20" disc, better suited for shops focused primarily on flat and angle sanding at higher volume.

Who is the Powermatic 1632 Open-End Belt Sander built for?

The Powermatic 1632 is built for production shops and cabinet makers that run high volumes of sanding daily. Its open-end design and wide belt handle continuous work in professional environments. It runs on three-phase power only.

Do these sanders come with a warranty?

The Powermatic 31A, DS-20, and 1632 all carry a 5-year warranty.
